BIG BEAR LAKE - BIG BEAR CITY

One of my favorite day out destinations is 45 minutes up the road to Big Bear.  If I don't get up there at least once a month I feel deprived of natural beauty at 7000 feet.  I love this area and we have started our trip on the south side of the lake which until a few months ago I had never been on that side - and then end up in Big Bear City.

We checked out a lot of menus in town along the street but decided to try a new brewery in town.  The food was delicious and Cayden enjoyed seeing the big tanks of beer.

He had a great day hiking with us and eating and then had a moment with his grandpa which i thought looked so sweet.

I have a lot of photos but that's enough for now.  I thought we would be walking the lake today but instead we are visiting "Oak Glen".  I love the country feel and the apple orchards.  The best time is in the fall to go there - but it felt like a good day to visit because the weather is in the 80's and not too hot.
